Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho have interested Real Madrid, according to reports [GETTY]

Sports Direct News claim Coutinho has impressed Real boss Carlo Ancelotti and he wants him to replace Mesut Ozil at the Bernabeu.

The Spanish giants, meanwhile, will continue to chase Suarez in January.

While Real's interest in Suarez is no secret, Liverpool fans should take the reports from Sports Direct with a pinch of salt.

They claimed in an exclusive in May that Newcastle were preparing a bid for Manchester United ace Wayne Rooney.

Despite Ashley being the one that would commission such a bid, the site had to issue a grovelling apology shortly after as the reports proved to be false.

Liverpool are chasing a Champions League place and boss Brendan Rodgers has his eye on strengthening his squad - not selling.

Rodgers said: "I think every window for us will be exactly the same - if there's a player we think can improve our squad and in particular the team, I'm sure we will be able to go out and get that player."
